Exhibit 10.2

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”), is entered into as of the 21st day of January, 2015 (“Effective Date”), between Jonathan T. Brohard (“Executive”) and IMH Financial Corporation (“Company”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive and utilize his services as indicated herein, and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valid consideration the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.Employment; Devotion to Duties.

(a) General. The Company will employ Executive as its Executive Vice President and General Counsel (“GC”), and Executive accepts employment to serve in this capacity, all upon the terms and conditions in this Agreement. Executive will have those duties and responsibilities that are consistent with Executive’s position as GC of the Company, as determined by the Board. Included within Executive’s responsibilities shall be to act as the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, Secretary and Chief Human Resources Officer. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change or modify Executive’s position, title and duties during the term of this Agreement, subject to Executive’s rights under Section 8(c).

(b) Devotion to Duties. During the Term Executive (i) shall devote all of his business time and efforts to the performance of his duties on the Company’s behalf, and (ii) shall not at any time or place or to any extent whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, without the express written consent of the Company, engage in any outside employment, or in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Company’s business, practice or affairs, whether alone or as partner, manager, officer, director, employee, shareholder of any corporation or as a trustee, fiduciary, consultant or other representative. This is not intended to prohibit Executive from engaging in nonprofessional activities such as personal investments or conducting to a reasonable extent private business affairs which may include other boards of directors’ activity, as long as they do not conflict with the Company and, in the case of positions on boards of directors or similar bodies, receive the prior written approval of the Board. Participation to a reasonable extent in civic, social or community activities is encouraged. The Board specifically approves Executive’s participation as an advisor to Salucro Healthcare Solutions, LLC and to ITH Partners, LLC and related ownership interests or compensation which may be paid to or awarded to Executive in connection with such participation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any non-Company activities shall be conducted in compliance with the Company’s corporate governance policies and other policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

2. Term. Executive is employed by the Company for the duties set forth in Section 1 for a three-year term ending on the day before the third anniversary of the date set forth above (the “Term”), subject to termination during the Term as set forth in this Agreement. Unless the Company

or Executive notifies the other in writing no later than the 180^th day prior to the expiration of the Term (or any extension thereof), then the Term shall automatically extend for successive one-year periods.

3. Location. The location of Executive’s principal place of employment will be at the Company’s principal executive offices, but the Executive understands that he may be required to travel and perform services outside of this area as reasonably required to properly perform his duties under this Agreement.

4. Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) in the amount of $425,000. The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices in effect from time to time. Effective January 1 of each year of this Agreement, the Base Salary shall be increased as determined by the Board commensurate with cost of living adjustments awarded to other executives of the Company.

5. Incentive Compensation.

(a) Annual Bonus. Executive will be entitled to participate in the IMH Financial Corporation Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”), pursuant to which an “Executive Bonus Pool” will be established for each fiscal year (currently the calendar year) of Company. Subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Incentive Compensation Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, Executive will be entitled to receive 1.15% of the 10% Executive Bonus Pool (11.5% of the total funds in the Executive Bonus Pool). For calendar year 2015 only, Executive is entitled to the greater of the amount determined pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Incentive Compensation Plan or $175,000 (the “Guaranteed Bonus”). Unless deferred pursuant to the IMH Financial Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), the incentive compensation to which Executive is entitled pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Plan, if any, shall be paid to Executive no later than two and one-half months following the end of the relevant fiscal year in which the services are performed. After the end of the initial three-year Term, Executive’s percentage interest in the Executive Bonus Pool may be modified by Company’s Compensation Committee from time to time.

(b) Legal Department Bonus. The Company will charge fees to its clients for internal legal services performed by Executive or other internal Company legal professionals acting at Executive’s direction (together, “In House Legal”). Executive will direct the Company’s utilization of outside law firms and the mix of legal services performed by In House Legal and outside firms. The Company will bill its clients for the fees of In House Legal (“In House Legal Fees”), and after the Company has collected In House Legal Fees equal to 50% of the total annual cost to the Company of the In House Legal department (salaries, subscriptions, continuing education, etc.), as reasonably determined by the Company, all excess In House Legal Fees collected during such year shall be eligible for a bonus pool payable to the In House Legal department (the “Legal Department Bonus Plan”). The distributions to Executive and other members of the In House Legal department from the Legal Department Bonus Plan will be at the recommendation of Executive, with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

6. Equity Awards.

In consideration for Executive entering into this Agreement, Company’s Chief Executive Officer will recommend to the Compensation Committee of Company’s Board of Directors that Executive receive a grant of 150,000 shares of Company’s common stock subject to the terms of a separate Restricted Stock Award Agreement to be entered into between Company and Executive pursuant to the terms and provisions of the 2010 IMH Financial Corporation Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, this “Initial Restricted Stock Award” shall vest ratably over the 3‑year period beginning on the Effective Date and shall include an acceleration of vesting in the event of (A) a Change in Control (as defined in Section 8(g) below), (B) Executive’s termination of employment with Company without Cause (as Cause is defined in Section 8(a) below) and (C) Executive’s death. The Restricted Stock Award Agreement also shall include such other terms and conditions as may be approved by the Compensation Committee. Executive may be entitled to receive additional awards pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan in the future, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

7. Executive Benefits.

(a) Fringe Benefits; Paid Time Off. The Company shall provide Executive with those fringe benefits and other executive benefits on the same terms and conditions as generally available to senior management from time to time (e.g., health, dental, vision, and long-term disability insurance, etc.); provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate any employee or executive benefit plan or program. Executive is entitled to paid vacation or paid time off (PTO) during each calendar year, with the amount and scheduling of the vacation to be determined under the Company’s PTO policies as in effect from time to time. Executive also will be permitted to defer all or part of his Base Salary and/or amounts payable to him pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Plan pursuant to Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

(b) Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive is entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable business expenses incurred in performing his duties under the Company’s expense reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time or as otherwise approved by the Board.

8. Termination of Employment During the Term of the Agreement. Upon, and as of, the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will be deemed to have resigned from all positions he then holds as an officer, director and employee of the Company. The Executive’s employment may be terminated during the Term of this Agreement pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Company Terminates Executive’s Employment for Cause.

(i) Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause means a determination by the Company that any of the following has occurred: (A) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to use his best efforts to perform his reasonably assigned duties; (B) the

Executive is convicted of, or enters a guilty plea to, a misdemeanor or felony involving moral turpitude; or (C) the Executive engages in (1) gross negligence, or recklessness, causing material harm to the Company or any affiliate, or its or their business or reputation, (2) intentional, willful, and/or material misconduct, (3) breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of the duty of loyalty, (4) breach of any of the restrictive covenants described in Section 9 of this Agreement, and/or (5) violation of any Company policy. The Company’s determination that Cause exists under (A) or (C) above may only be made after providing at least 10 days’ notice to Executive of its intent to terminate Executive for Cause and permitting the Executive the right, either individually or through his counsel, to present evidence to the contrary to the Company.

(ii) Effective Date of Termination. If, following the notice period and Executive’s right to a hearing as discussed in (i) above, the Company determines that Executive’s employment should be terminated for Cause, Executive’s employment will terminate immediately upon written notice by the Company to Executive stating that Executive’s employment is being terminated for Cause.

(iii) Compensation and Benefits. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company shall pay within the period as required under Arizona law, the Executive (A) any earned but unpaid Base Salary through the effective date of termination, and (B) any other payment or benefit to which he is entitled under the applicable terms of any applicable plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or its affiliates to which Executive is a party (the amounts in (A) and (B) above are referred to elsewhere in this Agreement as “Accrued Amounts”); provided that Executive will not be entitled to receive any bonus under the Incentive Compensation Plan or the Legal Department Bonus Plan for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs or for the prior fiscal year if that year’s Incentive Compensation Bonus or Legal Department Bonus has not yet been paid.

(b) Company Terminates Executive’s Employment without Cause.

(i) Effective Date of Termination. Executive’s employment will terminate on the 180^th day after the Company gives written notice to Executive stating that Executive’s employment is being terminated without Cause. The Company may, at its discretion, place Executive on a paid administrative leave during all or any part of the notice period. During the administrative leave, the Company may bar Executive’s access to its offices or facilities or may provide Executive with access subject to such terms and conditions as the Company chooses to impose. For purposes of this Agreement, any termination of Executive’s employment on account of Disability, will be deemed a termination without Cause.

(ii) Compensation and Benefits. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 8(i)), Company shall pay or provide Executive the sum of:

(1) Accrued Amounts;

(2) $1,425,000, minus an amount equal to the sum of Base Salary and Guaranteed Bonus paid to Executive as of such termination date; provided, however, that if

such termination occurs after the 24^th month of the Term but prior to the 36^th month of the Initial Term or during any extension period, then the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to one year Base Salary and any Incentive Compensation Bonus and/or In House Legal bonus accrued as of the date of such termination. Such severance pay shall be payable in a lump-sum payment no later than the 30^th day following the termination date (unless otherwise delayed under Section 8(i) below), provided that the revocation period set forth in the Release Agreement in Section 8(b)(iii) has expired on or before that date;

(3) The continuation of all Company welfare benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life and disability benefits pursuant to plans maintained by the Company under which the Executive and/or the Executive’s family were receiving benefits and/or coverage, for the 12‑month period following the date of the Executive’s termination, with such benefits provided to the Executive at no less than the same coverage level as in effect as of the date of termination and the Executive shall pay any portion of such cost as was required to be borne by key executives of the Company generally on the date of termination; provided, however, that the coverage for any plan subject to COBRA will also be continued in accordance with COBRA and the benefit continuation provided by this paragraph shall run concurrently with the COBRA continuation coverage; and

(iii) Release Agreement. The Company shall not make any payment to Executive or furnish any benefit under this Section 8(b) unless Executive signs (and does not revoke) a legal release (“Release Agreement”), in the form and substance as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Release Agreement shall require Executive to release the Company, directors, officers, employees, agents and other affiliates with the Company from any and all claims, including claims relating to Executive’s employment with the Company and the termination of Executive’s employment. The Release Agreement shall be executed and returned to the Company within the 21‑day period described in the Release Agreement and it shall not be revoked by Executive within the seven‑day revocation period described in the Release Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) the Company shall provide the Release Agreement to the Executive on the termination date, and (B) if the Company concludes, in the exercise of its discretion, that the payments due pursuant to this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the consideration period plus the revocation period described in the Release Agreement, spans two calendar years, the payments shall not be made and/or begin until the second calendar year.

(i) Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason means, without Executive’s consent, (A) any material diminution of Executive’s position, authority and duties under this Agreement, including the reassignment of the Executive to a position that is not the GC or the assignment to the Executive of duties that are not consistent with the GC position; (B) diminution of Executive’s Base Salary; (C) Executive is required to relocate to an employment location that is more than 25 miles from Executive’s current principal place of employment; (D) any material breach by the Company or any affiliate of any of its obligations under this Agreement; or (E) failure of the Company to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company within 15 days

after any merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction, except where such assumption occurs by operation of law. Notwithstanding the above provisions, a condition is not considered “Good Reason” unless (X) Executive gives the Company written notice of such condition within 30 days after the condition comes into existence; (Y) the Company fails to cure the condition within 10 days after receiving Executive’s written notice unless such a cure cannot reasonably be completed within 10 days and the Company is diligently pursuing a cure it will nevertheless be a cure as long as it is carried through to fruition; and (Z) Executive terminates his employment within 60 days after the expiration of the Company’s cure period if the termination is to be treated as for Good Reason based on the uncured Good Reason event.

(ii) Effective Date of Termination. Executive’s employment will terminate no later than the 60^th day after the expiration of the Company’s cure period as specified in Section 8(c)(i).

(iii) Compensation and Benefits. If the Executive voluntarily resigns his employment for Good Reason (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 8(i)), Company shall pay or provide Executive the same compensation and benefits as if the Executive was terminated by the Company without Cause as set forth in Section 8(b)(ii) no later than the 30^th day following the termination date (unless otherwise delayed under Section 8(i) below), provided that the revocation period set forth in the Release Agreement in Section 8(c)(iv) has expired on or before that date;

(iv) Release Agreement. The Company shall not make any payment to Executive or furnish any benefit under this Section 8(c) unless Executive signs (and does not revoke) a Release Agreement pursuant to the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 8(b)(iii).

(d) Executive Voluntarily Resigns without Good Reason.

(i) Effective Date of Termination. Executive’s employment shall terminate on the 60^th day after Executive gives written notice to the Company stating that Executive is resigning his employment with the Company for any reason other than Good Reason, unless the Company waives in writing all or part of this notice period (in which case the termination of employment is effective as of the date of the Company’s waiver).

(ii) Compensation and Benefits. If the Executive voluntarily resigns without Good Reason, the Company shall pay Executive the Accrued Amounts; provided that Executive shall not be entitled to receive any bonus under the Incentive Compensation Plan or the In House Legal bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs or for the prior fiscal year if that year’s Incentive Compensation Bonus or In House Legal bonus has not yet been paid.

(e) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability or Disabled means the Executive (A) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (B) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, is receiving income replacement benefits

for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering the Company’s employees. If Executive fails or refuses to cooperate with the Company’s representatives in the determination of Executive’s Disability and such failure or refusal continues for a period of 30 days, then Executive will be deemed not to be Disabled for purposes of this Agreement unless and until Executive cooperates with the Company’s representatives in the determination of Executive’s Disability.

(f) Death.

(i) Effective Date of Termination. Executive’s employment will terminate immediately upon the Executive’s death.

(ii) Compensation and Benefits. If the Executive dies during the Term, the Company shall pay Executive’s designated beneficiary, or his estate if there is no designated beneficiary, the sum of (A) the Accrued Amounts, and (B) a pro rata portion of any bonus under the Incentive Compensation Plan or the In House Legal bonus for the fiscal year of the Executive’s death plus the Incentive Compensation Bonus and/or the In House Legal bonus for the prior fiscal year if that year’s Incentive Compensation Bonus or In House Legal bonus has not yet been paid. Any amounts payable under this Section 8(f)(ii) are in addition to any payments which the Executive’s designated beneficiary or estate may be entitled to receive pursuant to any pension plan, profit sharing plan, employee benefit plan, or life insurance policy maintained by the Company.

(g) Change in Control.

(i) Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, Change in Control means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events following the Effective Date with respect to the Company:

(1) within a period of 12 months, any individual, entity or group (a “Person”) within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) (other than the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity controlled by the Company (a “Subsidiary”), or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b‑2 under the Act) of such Person, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d‑3 under the Act) of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote generally in an election of the Company’s Board (“Voting Securities”), other than as a result of (A) an acquisition of securities directly from the Company or any Subsidiary or (B) an acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a reorganization, consolidation or merger; or

(2) within a period of 12 months, the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to a corporation, with respect to which following such sale, lease, exchange or other disposition (A) more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally

in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to such sale, lease, exchange or other disposition, (B) no Person (excluding the Company or any affiliate thereof and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or any affiliate thereof, or a Subsidiary or such corporation or a subsidiary thereof and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such sale, lease, exchange or other disposition, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding Voting Securities), beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, and (C) subject to the nomination and approval of a full slate of directors to the Company’s Board (including, without limitation, independent directors), at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of such corporation were members of the Company’s Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or action of the Company’s Board providing for such sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of assets of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” as to the Company will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company or any affiliate thereof in the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate voting power represented by the Voting Securities beneficially owned by any Person to 50% or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any Person referred to in this sentence thereafter within a period of 12 months becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Stock or other Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction), then a “Change in Control” as to the Company will be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) Change in Control Payment/Section 280G Limitation.

(1) General Rules. Code Sections 280G and 4999 may place significant tax burdens on both Executive and the Company if the total payments made to Executive due to certain change in control events described in Code Section 280G (the “Total Change in Control Payments”) equal or exceed the 280G Cap (three times the Executive’s “Base Amount” as defined in Code Section 280G). If the Total Change in Control Payments equal or exceed the 280G Cap, Section 4999 of the Code imposes a 20% excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) on all amounts in excess of one times Executive’s Base Period Income Amount. This Excise Tax is imposed on Executive, rather than the Company, and, to the extent required by applicable regulations, shall be withheld by the Company from any amounts payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In determining whether the Total Change in Control Payments exceed the 280G Cap and results in an Excise Tax becoming due, and for purposes of calculating the 280G Cap itself, the provisions of Code Sections 280G and 4999 and the applicable regulations control over the general provisions of this Section 8(g)(ii).

(2) Limitation on Payments. Subject to the “best net” exception described in Section 8(g)(ii)(3) below, in order to avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax, the total

payments to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the 280G Cap minus $1.00.

(3) “Best Net” Exception. If Executive’s Total Change in Control Payments minus the Excise Tax payable on all such payments exceeds the 280G Cap minus $1.00, then the total payments to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise will not be reduced pursuant to Section 8(g)(ii)(2). If this “best net” exception applies, Executive shall be responsible for paying any Excise Tax (and income or other taxes) that may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Code Section 4999 or otherwise.

(4) Calculating the 280G Cap. If the Company believes that the provisions of Section 8(g)(ii)(2) may apply to reduce the total payments to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise, it shall notify Executive as soon as possible. The Company then shall engage a “Consultant” (a law firm, a certified public accounting firm, and/or a firm of recognized executive compensation consultants) to make any necessary determinations and to perform any necessary calculations required in order to implement the rules set forth in this Section 8(g)(ii). The Consultant shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and Executive and all fees and expenses of the Consultant shall be borne by the Company.

If the Company determines that the limitations of this Section 8(g)(ii) apply, then pending the issuance of the opinions by the Consultant, then the total payments to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise will be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate the amount in excess of the 280G Cap. Such payments shall be made at the times specified herein, in the maximum amount that may be paid without exceeding the 280G Cap. The balance, if any, shall then be paid, if due, after the opinions called for by this Section 8(g)(ii)(4) have been received.

If the amount paid to Executive by the Company is ultimately determined by the Internal Revenue Service to have exceeded the limitations of Section 8(g)(ii)(2), Executive shall repay the excess promptly on demand of the Company. If it is ultimately determined by the Consultant or the Internal Revenue Service that a greater payment should have been made to Executive, the Company shall pay Executive the amount of the deficiency within 30 days of such determination.

As a general rule, the Consultant’s determination will be binding on Executive and the Company. Section 280G and the Excise Tax rules of Section 4999, however, are complex and uncertain and, as a result, the Internal Revenue Service may disagree with the Consultant’s conclusions. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that the 280G Cap is actually lower than calculated by the Consultant, the 280G Cap will be recalculated by the Consultant. Any payment in excess of the revised 280G Cap then shall be repaid by Executive to the Company. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that the actual 280G Cap exceeds the amount calculated by the Consultant, the Company shall pay Executive any shortage.

The Company has the right to challenge any determinations made by the Internal Revenue Service. If the Company agrees to indemnify Executive from any additional taxes, interest and penalties that may be imposed on Executive in connection with such challenge,

then Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company. The Company will bear all costs associated with the challenge of any determination made by the Internal Revenue Service and the Company will control all such challenges.

Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim or determination by the Internal Revenue Service that, if upheld, would result in the payment of Excise Taxes. Such notice shall be given as soon as possible but in no event later than 15 days following Executive’s receipt of the notice of the Internal Revenue Service’s position.

(5) Effect of Repeal. If the provisions of Code Sections 280G and 4999 (or the corresponding provisions of any revenue law) are repealed without succession and with an effective date that is prior to the application of this Section 8(g)(ii), then this Section 8(g)(ii) will not apply. If such provisions do not apply to Executive for whatever reason (e.g., because Executive is not a “disqualified individual for purposes of Code Section 280G) or does not apply to this Agreement, then this Section 8(g)(ii) will not apply.

(h) Leave of Absence. At the Company’s sole discretion, Executive may be placed on a paid administrative leave of absence for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days unless otherwise reasonably required to resolve matters under investigation) should the Company believe it necessary for any reason, including, but not limited to confirm that reasonable grounds exist for a termination for Cause, for example, pending the outcome of any internal or other investigation or any criminal charges. During this leave, the Company may bar Executive’s access to the Company’s or any affiliate’s offices or facilities or may provide Executive with access subject to terms and conditions as the Company chooses to impose. The Company’s decision to place Executive on a paid leave of absence will not constitute grounds for Executive to terminate his employment for Good Reason and receive any severance payments or benefits pursuant to Section 8(c).

(i) Compliance with Code Section 409A. Any payment under this Section 8 is subject to the provisions of this Section 8(i) (except for a payment pursuant to Disability or death under Section 8(e) or (f)). If Executive is a “Specified Employee” of the Company for purposes of Code Section 409A at the time of a payment event in Sections 8(b) or (c) and if no exception from Code Section 409A applies in whole or in part, the severance or other payments shall be made to Executive by the Company on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service (the “409A Payment Date”). Should this Section 8(i) result in a delay of payments to Executive, the Company shall begin to make the payments as described in this Section 8, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for the application of this Section 8(i), shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date along with accrued interest at the rate of interest announced by the Company’s primary bank from time to time as its prime rate from the date that payments would otherwise have been made under this Agreement. The balance of the severance payments shall be payable in accordance with regular payroll timing and any COBRA premiums or subsidies shall be paid monthly. For purposes of this provision, the term Specified Employee has the meaning in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), or any successor provision and the issued treasury regulations and rulings. “Separation from Service” or “Termination of Employment” means, with respect to any payment that is subject to Code Section 409A, either (a)

termination of Executive’s employment with Company and all affiliates, or (b) a permanent reduction in the level of bona fide services Executive provides to Company and all affiliates to an amount that is 20% or less of the average level of bona fide services Executive provided to Company in the immediately preceding 36 months, with the level of bona fide service calculated in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). Solely for purposes of determining whether Executive has a “Separation from Service,” Executive’s employment relationship is treated as continuing while Executive is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence (if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as Executive’s right to reemployment with Company or an affiliate is provided either by statute or contract). If Executive’s period of leave exceeds six months and Executive’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first day immediately following the expiration of such six-month period. Whether a termination of employment has occurred will be determined based on all of the facts and circumstances and in accordance with regulations issued by the United States Treasury Department pursuant to Code Section 409A. If the payment is not subject to Code Section 409A, the term termination of employment will be given its ordinary meaning.

(j) Mitigation. The Executive is under no obligation to seek other employment or to otherwise mitigate the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

9. Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations.

(a) Ownership of Work, Materials and Documents. The Executive shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by him, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and related to the business or activities of the Company and its affiliates (the “Developments”). Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, which the parties acknowledge are owned by the Company and/or its applicable affiliate, the Executive assigns all of his right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits, including, without limitation, the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. Whenever requested by the Company, the Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company deems necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect its interests. These obligations continue beyond the end of the Executive’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Executive while employed by the Company, and are binding upon the Executive’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 9(a), the Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and in the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this

Section 9(a) with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive. Immediately upon the Company’s request at any time during or following the Term, Executive is required to return to the Company any and all Confidential and Proprietary Information and any other property of the Company then within Executive’s possession, custody and/or control. Failure to return this property, whether during the term of this Agreement or after its termination, is a breach of this Agreement and will entitle the Company to offset its damages against any amounts owed to Executive.

(b) Interests to be Protected. During the course of Executive’s employment, Executive will be exposed to a substantial amount of confidential and proprietary information, including, but not limited to, financial information, annual reports, audited and unaudited financial reports, operational budgets and strategies, methods of operation, customer lists, strategic plans, business plans, marketing plans and strategies, new business strategies, merger and acquisition strategies, management systems programs, computer systems, personnel and compensation information and payroll data, and other such reports, documents or information (collectively the “Confidential and Proprietary Information”). Due to Executive’s senior position with the Company and its affiliates, Executive acknowledges that he regularly receives Confidential and Proprietary Information with respect to the Company and/or its affiliates; for the avoidance of doubt, all such information is expressly included in the defined term “Confidential and Proprietary Information.” If Executive’s employment is terminated by either party for any reason, Executive promises that Executive shall not retain, take with Executive or make any copies of such Confidential and Proprietary Information in any form, format, or manner whatsoever (including paper, digital or other storage in any form) nor shall Executive disclose the same in whole or in part to any person or entity, in any manner either directly or indirectly. Excluded from this Agreement is information that (i) is or becomes publicly known through no violation of this Agreement; (ii) is lawfully received by the Executive from any third party without restriction on disclosure or use; (iii) is required to be disclosed by law, or (iv) is expressly approved in writing by the Company for release or other use by the Executive. Executive and the Company also acknowledge that because Executive is a senior executive he will have access to information (some of which is Confidential Information and some of which is not), employees and knowledge about the Company that is extremely valuable to the Company and which it needs to protect for a period of time after Executive terminates employment. Additionally, they agree that the covenants in this Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. Executive and the Company agree that the following restrictive covenants (which together are referred to as the “Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations”) are fair and reasonable and are freely, voluntarily and knowingly entered into. Further, each party has been given the opportunity to consult with legal counsel before entering into this Agreement.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Current and Prospective Clients, Customers, Borrowers, and Vendors. During the Term and for a 12-month period after the termination of employment with the Company (“Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations”), regardless of who initiates the termination and for whatever reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for Executive, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, call upon, contact, encourage, handle, accept, or solicit client(s), prospective clients, customers, prospective customers, borrowers, prospective borrowers, vendors, or prospective vendors of the Company with whom (i) Executive worked as an employee

of the Company, or supervised other Company employee(s) who worked with such entities/persons, at any time prior to termination, or at the time of termination; and/or (ii) about whom Executive possessed or had access to Confidential and Proprietary Information at any time prior to termination, or at the time of termination, for the purpose of soliciting, providing, or selling to, or otherwise interfering with the Company’s business relationship or the Company’s anticipated business relationship with, such client(s), prospective client(s) customers, prospective customers, borrowers, prospective borrowers, vendors, or prospective vendors, any products and/or services that are the same, similar, or related to the business of the Company, or business that the Company has prepared, or offered to provide, to such client(s), prospective client(s) customers, prospective customers, borrowers, prospective borrowers, vendors, or prospective vendors.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Term and for the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations, regardless of who initiates the termination and for any reason, Executive shall not knowingly, directly or indirectly, for Executive, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, corporation, or governmental entity, solicit for employment, encourage to leave the Company, or otherwise attempt to interfere with the relationship with the Company, any Company employee for the purpose of having such employee leave the Company and engage in services that are the same, similar, or related to the services that employee provided for the Company. For the purposes of this Section 9(d), “Company employee” means any individual who (i) is employed by or who works as a contractor for the Company at any time during the 12-month period preceding the termination of Executive’s employment, or (ii) is employed by or who works as a contractor for the Company at any time during the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations.

(e) Competing Business. With respect to any property/facility owned (in whole or in part), operated, managed, and/or invested in (in whole or in part) by the Company, Executive shall not, during the Term and for the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations, directly or indirectly, for Executive or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, engage in the same or similar business as the Company which would be in competition with the Company within a 50-mile radius of any such property/facility owned (in whole or in part), operated, managed, and/or invested in (in whole or in part) by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the termination of Executive’s employment and/or during the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations. With respect to the Company’s business of lending money, during the Term and for the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, engage in the business of soliciting to lend money and/or lending money to any of the Company’s customers (defined as any person or entity for whom the Company has loaned money, invested in, or otherwise established and/or maintained a business relationship within the 12 month period before the Effective Date, during the Term, and/or for the Period of Executive’s Post-Terminations Obligations) or prospective customers (defined as any person or entity who has been solicited by the Company to become a customer during the 12 month period prior to Executive’s termination of employment).

(f) Extension of Period. Executive agrees that the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations referred to in Section 9(c), (d) and (e) will be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of any breach of this Agreement by Executive.

(g) Judicial Amendment. If the scope of any provision of Section 9 of this Agreement is found by a court to be too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties agree that, if legally permissible, the scope of any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a judge in any proceeding to enforce Sections 9 of this Agreement, so that the provision can be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the parties agree that it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Injunctive Relief, Damages and Forfeiture. Due to the nature of Executive’s position with the Company, and with full realization that a violation of Section 9 may cause immediate and irreparable injury and damage, which is not readily measurable, and to protect the parties’ interests, the parties understand and agree that either party may seek injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction to cease or prevent any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement. In any action brought pursuant to this Section 9(h), the prevailing party will be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and costs.

(i) Survival. The provisions of this Section 9 survive the termination of Executive’s employment.

(j) Cooperation; No Disparagement. During the Period of Executive’s Post-Termination Obligations, Executive agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Company (including assistance with litigation matters), upon the Company’s request, concerning the Executive’s previous employment responsibilities and functions with the Company. In consideration for this cooperation, Company will compensate Executive for the time Executive spends on such cooperative efforts (at an hourly rate based on Executive’s Base Salary during the year preceding the date of termination) and Company will reimburse Executive for his reasonable out of pocket expenses Executive incurs in connection in such cooperative efforts. At all times after the Executive’s employment with the Company has terminated, Company (defined for this purpose only as any Company press release and the Board, the CEO and the CEO’s direct reports, and no other employees) and Executive agree to refrain from making any disparaging or derogatory remarks, statements and/or publications regarding the other, its employees, its services or its business.

10. General Provisions.

(a) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any applicable law, then, if legally permissible, such provision will be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, and if no modification will make the provision legal, valid and enforceable, then this Agreement will be construed as if not containing the provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced accordingly.

(b) Assignment by Company. Nothing in this Agreement precludes the Company from consolidating or merging into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity that assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings hereunder.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any agreements concerning equity compensation or other benefits, embody the parties’ complete agreement with respect to the subject matter in this Agreement and supersede any prior written or contemporaneous oral, understandings or agreements between the parties that may have related in any way to the subject matter in this Agreement, including but not limited to any offer letter provided to or signed by Executive. This Agreement may be amended only in writing executed by the Company and Executive.

(d) Governing Law. Because the Company is a Delaware corporation, and because it is mutually agreed that it is in the best interests of the Company and all of its employees that a uniform body of law consistently interpreted be applied to the employment agreements to which the Company is a party, this Agreement will be deemed entered into by the Company and Executive in Delaware.

2. WAIVER AND RELEASE.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b), which identifies claims expressly excluded from this release, Executive hereby releases the Company, all affiliated companies, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, stockholders, successors and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorney fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising from or relating to Executive’s employment with the Company and the termination of that employment, including (without limitation): claims of wrongful discharge, emotional distress, defamation, fraud, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, discrimination claims based on sex, age, race, national origin, disability or any other protected classes under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), the Americans with Disability Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), as amended, and any similar law of any state or governmental entity, any contract claims, tort claims and wage or benefit claims, including (without limitation) claims for salary, bonuses, commissions, equity awards (including stock grants, stock options and restricted stock units), vesting acceleration, vacation pay, fringe benefits, severance pay or any other form of compensation.

In addition, nothing in this Agreement prevents or prohibits Executive from filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or any other government agency that is responsible for enforcing a law on behalf of the government and deems such claims not waivable.

(e) Executive understands and agrees that the Company has no obligation to provide him with any severance benefits under the Employment Agreement unless he executes this Agreement. Executive also understands that he has received or will receive, regardless of the execution of this Agreement, all wages owed to him, together with any accrued but unpaid vacation pay, less applicable withholdings and deductions, earned through the Termination Date.

(f) This Agreement is binding on Executive, his heirs, legal representatives and assigns.
